It should be a no brainer, but I can argue my points if needed.

OMG I agree with Scotch. :uhoh +1

A reasonable request.

Yep, landing kills in the DA is not what it should be about..

Might make the DA lake about fun furballing again.

imo, it should be disabled. if you want to land, go to the MA, have an affect on the battle, and go land with satisfaction that you did your best.

This pretty much sums it up.

This is probably the greatest idea for the DA in a long time! Why has no one else thought of this?!

I could care less if there was no ranging or kill message in the DA and I fly there only for fights so you have my vote there. The one thing you may or may not over looked is that i don't think HTC wants to lose any paying customers over it and that's what might happen to the ego driving score guys in the DA. But if it stays the same as it is now he will not lose paying customers and just have forums like this with some rants lol.

The ONLY thing I can say against this idea is that there is one use for this message. Our squad goes to the DA occasionally and has competitions where we separate into two groups and fight each other. We typically keep score using the kills landed message. So for example we will fight a four on four until one side gets 12 kills total...then switch planes and reset. We use it for wingman training and SA training in furballs. It's another way to train vs just dueling 1 v 1 as that sorta ignores the importance of SA.
That said.....I can think of many many other reasons to +1 the idea. We can come up with another way to keep track of kills.
Unfortunately I'm not sure changing the game will do much to change the attitude (and flying habits) of the guys targeted by this change....worth a try though.

Can't hurt. Might help. :aok

I think it's more about getting the arena set as it should be to promoting the dueling/furballing it's built for rather than worrying about trying to control a certain group of people.

Nuke it....

This might be the secret to emptying out the lake unless HiTech likes the foot traffic.

Is that observation not equally pertinent in the MA, where there are no shortage of players doing precisely that? I say disable kill messages wholesale :old:

No way it would empty the lake, or the MA. What it may do is alter gameplay to reduce some of the less gamey tactics ( for less gamey, read "realistic when your skin is on the line").
I had a day off yesterday and spent it having great times in the DA and WW1 arena.
Seriously good fights with Shakey, 50calmg, Maxous, Oddsocks.
No worried about score and most of the guys bailing after winning fights to save time re upping.
So for a good many, removal of namrs in lights, would make little impact
:old:

It's hilarious how the majority of posters in here are MA players who MUST be terrified that their glory might be reduced and thus want to make sure no one else has any. INHO if you're not a DA regular your opinions is moot.

No you didn't. Joach1m found you, and you died. Sorry.

+1 even midway was flying all timid to land his DA pickings

The DA is not an MA and shouldn't be treated such. If your motivation for flying is wtg's, score, and rank, fly any of the MA's. You'll even compete with more than a handful of people. The DA is for certain aspects of the game and the arena should be setup to promote those aspects.
-
The MA is just where Hoers, picker and runners go to get their atta boys, then I guess.....
-
That is a large part of it, yes. btw you like to turn it into an ma player vs da player argument but the truth is we're all AH players and with one or two exceptions I can safely assume that most people in this thread, though MA players in your mind, have probably spent way more hours in the DA than those you call the DA regulars. Everyone's opinion is valid...

If your opinion isn't Scottish, it's CRAP! :D

That's the problem he seems to be having. It is easy to be in the top 10 percent of 30 players, but much harder to be in the top 10 percent of 3000 players.

That's funny, that's all I ever find when I stop by the "lake" when I'm working out a problem.

Seriously why do people worry so much about what goes on in the DA Lake area? Our squad will go to the DA and use two of the dueling fields. We never have any problems. When we finish a fight we just auger instead of landing kills. We don't go over to the lake area, we know what it is and we leave it to the guys that love to fly there. If you don't like it then don't fly there. If the DA wasn't serving the purpose Hitech intended he'd change it. The lake is called Furball Lake for a reason. F-3 mode is on for a reason. The few times I've flown furball lake I've gotten wiped out over and over. It is just another form of AH and like the LWA it has its cartoon aces who have mastered the venue. The difference is those guys in the DA don't constantly whine about the LWA and try to impose their likes and dislikes on it.

....and there are no scores for a reason. :D

Seriously I don't have a dog in the fight, rarely go in there except to do some squad dueling. I just never understood why the place gets under so many people's skin so bad.

Adult males spending the better part of their healthy productive night in a kiddy cartoon game have to justify it somehow. The traditional method from the dawn of Hominidae is to declaire my group is better than your group becasue we is the real deal and transend this dump into realmanville by being here. All becasue they say so to turn inainity into moral certitude visa numbers and loud chest thumping. We the real deal the rest of yous' is drool.
How else do you justify living in a kiddy cartoon game trying to convince every kiddy you run across that you are the equivalent of a demigod because you go piu, piu, piu real good?
$14.95 a month says the players at furball lake, the dueling fields, and all the HOers and pickers in the MA are equal along with any reasons they give to justify how they play the game. Unless your ego is so weak you can be conned into beleiving you are a lesser man, by someone in a kiddy cartoon game thumping his cartoon chest at you, yelling looser becasue you don't play the game the same way he does. It dosen't matter if this was a dried bean collecting club or a kiddy game. It's human nature to turn it into my way is better than your way and build a theology around it to justify your way of taking part in it.
So what matters. The power of your $14.95 a month? Or Scotch and Company thumphing their chests at you in a kiddy cartoon game yelling theirs is the only right way to play this game? I don't see HiTech giving scotch and company lifetime free subscriptions because of their auwsumness and how their presence specificly transforms this game into the best game in the world.
Ever noticed the game dosen't stop running 24x7 when scotch and company logoff? How auwsum is that......
-
There is no chest thumping in this thread. In fact I've specifically said everyone's opinion is equal. Take your b.s. to the general discussion.

Me neither, it is what it is. :cheers:
